DAZZLING WINTER SLAW - RED CABBAGE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD

Dazzling Winter Slaw - Red Cabbage, Apple and Pecan Salad image

A dazzling coleslaw salad for your winter festive table. Red cabbage is mixed with apples, carrots, pecans and onions which is then dressed with a tangy mustard and nut vinaigrette - fabulous! Plus, the colours as well as the taste, is amazing! This goes so well with cold cuts, pies, tarts, quiches, buffets as well as being a wonderful supper or light lunch accompaniment. I do all the shredding and grating in my food processor, it is so easy and cuts down on time. You can of course grate and shred by hand - it will just take a little longer! I sometimes add semi-dried cranberries and grated beetroot - these are listed as optional exras. The pie shown in the photograph, is my Recipe #268117, which I often serve with this winter slaw salad - they make a wonderful combination. (This recipe was posted to our personal preferences - with a light dressing and not a creamy or heavy dressing; if you like your salads with more dressing - please adjust the dressing quantities up!)

Tips:

- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the red cabbage and apples. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more crisp. - If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage and apples, or they will become mushy. - Be sure to drain the cabbage and apples well before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the slaw from becoming watery. - If you are making the slaw ahead of time, toss it with the dressing just before serving. This will help prevent the cabbage and apples from wilting.

Conclusion:

Red cabbage apple slaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this red cabbage apple slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
